Day 1: Transfer from Arusha to Tarangire National Park.
Your Serengeti Ngorongoro Tarangire Safari starts from your hotel in Arusha. We will then head for Tarangire National Park where you can marvel at the colossal termite mounds and the ancient baobab trees. The picturesque scenery and diverse bird life assist in creating the tranquil ambiance of the Tarangire National Park. The great elephant population is an extremely remarkable sight. African elephants are the largest land mammal and adult males can weigh as much as seven tonnes. Tarangire’s varied wildlife includes lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongoose, buffaloes, and baboons. When your game drive comes to an end, we will take you to the Lake Manyara where you will get dinner and overnight.

Day 2: Ngorongoro Conservation Area, transfer to Arusha
We will have an early start to the day to ensure that we complete the itinerary for the day which includes a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater due to its elevated walls. This means you are capable of spotting every member of the big five in one day. The big five comprises buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards. Some of the other wildlife that you can expect to see include zebras, hippos, wildebeests, and hyenas. The craters also feature an extensive bird population including geese, storks, and vultures. You will also be graced with sights of the lovely flamingos on the Soda Lake. Our guides are highly skilled and will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach you and that a selected few can perform.
Your Ngorongoro Tarangire safari will come to an end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed back to Arusha.
